Rebuilt in 1948-50 and not much altered since. The left-hand room retains its classic 1950s counter with Formica top and the bar back with its mix of glass and Formica shelves looks to be the same vintage, as does the brick fireplace and fixed seating. Note the 'Cloakrooms' sign gold-painted on the back door, which has been reversed, and the sliding door to the servery. The lounge has a forward-leaning counter which is redolent of the 1950s albeit the front panels are later. The bar back fitting has a mirrored backing but the top shelves are recent. This room also has an original fireplace and bench seating. A widish arch leads to a room on the far right which looks to have come into pub use more recently. The former off-sales is near the entrance but the hatch is blocked up.
A brick and Norfolk carrstone pub re-built 1948-50 and little changed over the years. It has a porch with bare benches on the left and right. The left hand door with 'Bar' painted in gold on a wooden door sign retains its original classic 1950s bar counter front and a Formica top. The bar back fitting with some glass shelves looks very 1950s with a Formica main shelf and only some lower shelves have been lost for a fridge. There is a 1950s brick fireplace and the fixed seating looks to be original as the backing matches the bar counter. Note the 'Cloakrooms' sign painted in gold on the door out at the rear, which has been reversed, and the sliding door to the servery for staff.
The door from the inner porch on the right hand side has 'Lounge' painted in gold on a wooden door sign and has a lean to you bar counter that looks 1950s with a Formica top but has fresh counter front panels. Bar back fitting has a mirrored backing but the top shelving looks more 1970s and part of the lower shelves have been lost to fridges. There is another 1950s brick fireplace and some original fixed seating. There is a widish arch to the room on the far right which looks like it has been brought into use. Originally there would have been an off-sales just as you enter but the hatch is blocked up, although the space remains in the staff area.
